My point is .. it wasn't a difficult fight for Fury,wouldn't mind seeing them both fight now,think Fury does him again.
All good points, and accurate. However, although I used to be a huge Boytsov fan & had high hopes for him, he is definitely a little slow for an elite-level HW. OK, maybe not "slow" exactly, but somehow stiff or lumbering. Maybe he's just being careful, but I dunno... I guess we won't know until he faces someone really slick, and Fury 'aint that. Boytsovs power is incredible, and he should have no problem taking out Fury, but he does most of his damage from mid-range to close-up. Against someone fast & elusive, like Haye, or possibly Jennings or Wilder (who is VERY fast) I think he'd have to land a lucky punch to survive. Still, I am VERY excited that this fight is happening! Again, it should instantly catapult Boytsov into the international spotlight, and create demand for some excellent top-ten bouts in 2013. The other fringe contenders are not going to be able to duck him, if challenged. Imagine Boytsov vs Jennings, or Mitchell, or even Price...
My theory on the Boytsov enigma is that he's an incredibly talented fighter who simply doesn't match up well with the Klits. His management knows this, and they've been waiting for Vitali to get old or retire. Well, he's old now. He's lost a step. And he may very well be retiring if the election results go his way. The fact that now all of a sudden Boytsov steps up to the plate to take on a really big, highly-ranked heavyweight like Fury seems to confirm this idea. If Vitali stays in the sport, it's a good tune-up. Boytsov has some rounds under his belt with a really big guy and is next in line as the mandatory. If Vitali retires, all the better: he fights a B+ guy for the strap. This is looking calculated.
too small ???????? Tell that to Tyson (the real one) & Holyfield. Now, if being big, uncoordinated and slow were skills, then Boytsov might be in trouble.... The only thing Tyson Fury has going for him is his name.
True. Like I said above, I think this is a very calculated move by the Boytsov camp. Boxing being what it is anymore, the first question to ask in predicting an outcome is "Why is the fight happening?"
Fury is really going to have to use his jab well and also tie up Boytsov when he gets on the inside. I just don't think he is disciplined enough, I do expect him to be hurt during the fight. What I do like about Boytsov is that he really possesses killer instinct, once he has a guy hurt he really steps it up. If Boytsov is in good shape, Fury will have to fight incredibly well to win this fight, he may do so, but I think those odds aren't great. I do think a knock out from Denis in the mid rounds is likely.
I just watched Boystov against Guinn and Fury beats this guy up.He's a good hitter but he's not explosive,no jab,looks like he has a short reach therefore dosnt have an effective over hand right which he will need againt Fury.He's gonna have to move inside to have success but the problem for him is Fury has developed a good inside game,throws hurtful bodyshots and an improving uppercut.
Pretty obvious that you're either: a) ignorant of what Boytsov brings to the table, or b) British. Likely both.
Am i British?YEAH and i root for British fighters.You got a problem with that?Why are u jealous?So tell me please what does Boystov bring to the table that im ignorant of?
